CHAPTER3THEDAWN OF THEHITTITEERA
- Billie Jean Collins’book,The Hittites and their World(Atlanta, 2007), also
discusses many aspects of Hittite history and civilisation covered in the
following pages. - Though we cannot be sure whether or to what extent all inhabitants of the
kingdom referred to themselves in this way. - For possible connections between Bronze Age and biblical Hittites, see Trevor
Bryce,The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms(Oxford, 2012), pp. 64–75, and
Billie Jean Collins,The Hittites and their World, pp. 197–218. - *Mark Chavalas,The Ancient Near East(Oxford, 2006), pp. 228–35 (transl.
P. Goedegebuure). - There is much uncertainty about the family links between the earliest
Hittite rulers. In the following pages, and later in the book, I make Hattusili
I the grandson and successor of thefirst Labarna, though I also allow the
possibility that he succeeded his aunt Tawananna. But there are other
possibilities; see e.g. Richard Beal,‘The Predecessors of Hattusili I’,in
G. Beckman, R. Beal, and G. McMahon (eds),Hittites Studies in Honor of
Harry A. Hoffner Jr(Winona Lake, 2003), pp. 13–35. - On this episode, see*William Hallo and K. Lawson Younger (eds),
The Context of Scripture(3 vols.) (Leiden, Boston, 2002) 2/3, p. 81, §20
(transl. G. Beckman). - *Chavalas,Ancient Near East, pp. 219–22 (transl. G. Beckman).
